We welcome the step taken by the United States declaring Dawood Ibrahim as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist. The designation recognizes Dawood Ibrahim's underworld and terrorist connections, his efforts to destabilise India, his involvement in the
1993 Mumbai bombings and his support to LeT. This would automatically trigger a request for his inclusion in the United Nations listing as well.
We renew our demand to the Government of Pakistan to hand over Dawood Ibrahim to India so that he can be prosecuted for the crimes committed by him. We also appeal to other States to disallow him transit or relocation from his current residence.
